Copyright Troll surrenders
2012-03-28
The copyright troll Righthaven seems to have given up and is not even bothering to show up at court.

According to Tech Dirt CEO Steve Gibson is working at another job
... hopefully something in the food service industry that requires a paper hat...
while he is being investigated by the Nevada Bar and main lawyer Shawn Mangano apparently has completely stopped responding to all attempts to contact him, even by the court.
"Psst! Tell 'em I'm not in! You think I went to South Africa!"
All the company's appeals have been dismissed "for lack of prosecution" and last week it had one of its main cases closed, with prejudice.

#7  The sued ones need to get a class action and go up the food chain, in my uninformed humble opinion.

#6   AFAICT these trolls have paid nothing for their misdeeds, while they have cost their victims a great amount.

#5  "Steven Gibson . . . says the attorneys are unfairly trying to pin the blame on him for not producing the data. He claims the responsibility lies not with him or the company but with an attorney who has represented Righthaven."

Awwwww, da' poor bay-bee.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving weasel.

#2  That Sun article:

1) It's always someone else's fault, not Mr. Gibson's.

2) His office has the kind of tacky wallpaper you'd expect to find in Las Vegas.
